Welcome to HostHive! This guide will have you up and running in about 10 minutes.
Before you start:
Complete these steps to get up and running:
Here's what a typical setup looks like:
Minutes 1-2: Create Account
Sign up at app.hosthive.io, verify your email, and set your password.
Minutes 3-4: Initial Setup
Add your company name and set up service names (what you call your appointments—Turnover, Deep Clean, etc.).
Minutes 5-7: Add Your First Property
Enter the property address, details, and any amenities.
Minutes 8-9: Connect Calendars
Paste your ICS calendar URL from Airbnb or VRBO. We sync every 10 minutes to auto-create turnover appointments.
Minute 10: Schedule or Invite
Create your first appointment manually, or invite your cleaning team to start receiving assignments.
When you create your account, you're automatically an Admin. Here's what each role can do:
| Role | Create Properties | Manage Team | Complete Services | View Finances |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Admin | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Manager | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Service Provider | No | No | Yes | No |
| Property Owner | View own | No | No | View own |
| Viewer | No | No | No | No |
Start your team with the minimum role needed—you can always upgrade later.
